Valentine cookies

I know it isn't yet Valentine's Day... but I'm going to be chanting away on Valentine's Day this year. So... in response to a request by my boys, we made cookies today...

This is the old standard sugar cookie recipe from my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook that I bought with gift money when I graduated from high school. That cookbook has been much-used over the years (and looks like it, too).

The frosting is a standard buttercream frosting with lots of heavy cream and homemade vanilla...

Don't you wish you were at my house?
